Folks,

I need to re-up this urgent message because we’re still in the red. Look, we didn’t reach our FEC goal last night. Not great — but I refuse to let that derail us.

Please, if you can, donate $10 or more to help us get back on track for the final, most important stretch of this race. I’m really depending on you here.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

I know we have what it takes to flip this seat, we just need to dig a little bit deeper.

Okay, my campaign manager just called me and told me not to freak out.

It turns out, we’re way off track on our projections. We’ve fallen so far behind all of our online goals that our gap is growing wider by the minute — right before our most important FEC deadline tonight.

I’ll be honest, we were not expecting this. This is the last time our report will go public before Election Day and if we miss this goal, everyone will see that we do not have the funds to fight back against any last-minute attacks.

If the GOP’s ads go unchallenged, we could lose this race and any hope of taking back the Senate along with it. So, I’m asking this grassroots team to hustle like never before:

Folks, can I personally count on you to donate $10 or more right now to help us reach our FEC goal and fight back before it’s too late? I’m really counting on you to come through here.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Voting is already underway in Colorado. Folks are already making their final decisions and mailing in their ballots. That means we cannot afford to let the GOP drown us out on the airwaves when it matters most.

Please, I’m counting on you.
